This is the first book I have read by Emilie Richards, although I have maybe of her books on my bookshelf to be read. I put off reading this series for a few reasons. !. The main characters name is Aggie, which lead me to believer she was a blue haired ministers wife. 2. I am not a big fan of Christian authors.

Those two objections could not be farther from the true. 1. Aggie is a mother of 2 kids, who has been married about 12 years to Ed. 2. I wouldnt consider this Christian Fiction like Janette Oke, or Gilbert Morris. The characters are Unitarian Universalists, they drink alcohol, hire homosexual employees, and believe in 1st amendment rights even when it comes to pornography. So it never gets preachy except when it comes to politics.

I really enjoyed the books and all the characters, even the bad guy. I thought it got a little preachy about politics, but didnt get preachy about Gay rights. I dont think the views will offend Christians, or non christians.

I also liked that the police officers respected her and the main character wasnt trying to undermine his authority, but clues kept getting dumped on her front porch so to speak.

I think I will enjoy this series, and would recommend it most people.
